[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 503664, member: 23070"] Kirby, Where i hunt moose shots can be close. Last year we had 3 moose get within 60 yards. But we had 6 moose out past 500 yards with the furthest this year at 890 yards lasered. A lot of the time the moose can be close but i was surprised how many were out past 500 yards. I might not have as much as experience as other, but i would like to say moose are that easy to kill. Elk seem to run when there hit. I have witnessed a moose hit with a 160 grain accubonds from a 7mm mag at 100 yards, and it continued to eat like nothing happened. We racked another shell and fired again and hit him again. He ran 50 yards and stopped. walked to the water and continued to eat. We hit him again and he dropped in his tracks. We unloaded and started to drive up to him and he got up walked to shore and stood there. We hit him high shoulder and he was finally finished. when we got there he had 3 shots in his lungs and the third was a high shoulder shot. I dont mean to be rude to anyone its just my personal opinion that moose are almost as tough as elk. they just react differently. I will also be hunting elk though in Montana this year and hopefully years to come. i figured once we hunt it this year we will be going back!! Once i get better at longer ranges i would like to continue to back up till we hit the 1000 yard mark. [/QUOTE]
